From what I've read, all evidence to the contrary is ignored and there's seems to be an apriori assumption that its aliens. Bill Witherspoon's Shri Yantra in Oregan in 1990 is a classic case of this. Bill and several other people all worked together to make the yantra. A very much earth-bound event, but after it was discovered, for his life, he couldn't convince the ufo people that he had done it. They came up with "facts" to disprove him. Incredible!
My own suspicion is that the first crop circles were really simple things made by whirlwinds and some good ole boys in various parts of the world saw how freaked everyone was by a simple circle and started making elaborate hoaxes to yank everyone around. They weren't called "crop circles" because they formed elaborate patterns... Lawson
